Cyclist chased by machete-wielding thugs in Richmond Park

Postby Annabel (admin) » Fri Oct 08, 2021 3:20 pm

A professional cyclist has described how masked, machete-wielding robbers on motorcycles ambushed him and grabbed his bike as he was training in London’s Richmond Park.
 Alexandar Richardson, 31, said he won’t return to Richmond Park after he was chased by four attackers on two motorcycles who were trying to force him to hand over his bicycle on Thursday afternoon.He rode off at speed to try to escape but the robbers caught up with him and he came off.
 Mr Richardson desperately clung onto his £10,000 bike and was dragged up to 100 metres by one of the motorcycles. One of the robbers then threatened him with a 15 inch machete at which point he handed over his cycle.
 The UCI ProTeam Alpecin-Fenix rider wrote on Instagram about his experience and posted a picture of his injuries.
